Ayia -Thekla Chapel - Greek orthodox church in Ayia Napa, Cyprus
The small cave chapel of St. Thekla west of Ayia Napa is right next to the sea. A small white and blue church with the same name is also close to the site. Ayia Thecla (Ayia Thekla Church) is much venerated on the island of Cyprus as is shown by the numerous icons and candles in the small dark cave.
Thecla was engaged to Thamyris, but after hearing Paul preach, she decided to remain a virgin and follow the missionary from place to place. Her parents were outraged and turned her over to the authorities. She would be burned as an example to other young girls who went against their parents’ wishes, but a storm put out the flames.

Twice Thekla escaped from being eaten by lions, and finally she became a recluse in a cave near the town of Maaloula, Syria living a life of pepetual prayer and fasting.
For the next seventy-two years, she lived the life of a hermitess and died there in Maaloula though legend says she was miraculously transported to Rome to be buried beside Paul.
The story of Thekla comes from the apocryphal work Acts of Paul and Thekla which was written before 190AD and was very popular in the early church.
Referred to as a ‘Religious Romance’, there were Greek, Coptic, Latin, and Ethiopia versions; the work was disapproved by Tertrullian and lost popularity in the early 3rd century.
Up until early December 2013, her tomb had been a popular place of pilgrimage, but Syrian rebels led by Abu Jafar ransacked all of the monasteries in the vicinity, digging up the bones of Ayia Thekla and desecrating the tomb. The twelves nuns of the convent were thought to have been kidnapped when they disappeared, but they had been taken to safety and hidden from the rebels.

Agia Thekla Chapel - Sotira
A chapel near the sea between Ayia Napa and Sotira
The small chapel of Agia Thekla is built between the municipalities of Agia Napa and Sotiras. Religiously it belongs to Sotira.
It is the apple of the contention between the two Municipalities who state that the chapel belongs to their periphery and this is not irrelevant to the archaeological wealth that is believed to exist on the shores of St. Thekla.
The church, with blue and white colors and with the backdrop of the endless blue and clear sea, is built next to the ruins of the old original church dating back to the 4th century. The catacomb of Agia Theklis is a cave or tomb carved in stone. It is believed that in 1571 the Turkish general Peleas Pasas landed there with an army and marched against Famagusta where he helped General Mustafa in the siege of the city.
It is noteworthy that many couples, locals and tourists choose to get married at the church of Agia Thekla.
Very close to the church there are restaurants, special entertainment venues, the famous beach of Agia Thekla and a long road with a wonderful oasis for those who want hiking.

Chapel of Agioi Anargyroi Ayia Napa Cyprus
The small chapel of Agioi Anargyroi stands majestic in the eastern part of Ayia Napa, near Protaras, in the place called Cavo Greco.
At the edge of a vertical rock above the sea.
It is dedicated to Saints Kosmas and Damianos.
Below the chapel there is a cave with the holy water of the Saints.
This is a beautiful chapel, in shades of blue and white, which many couples choose have their wedding ceremony there and baptise their children there too.
